Santalace^e. 



105. Henslowia varians, Bl. A climber, rather slender. 

 Leaves oblanceolateor obovate, obtuse, rounded, narrowed at the 

 base, nerves 5, conspicuous on both sides when dry, 175 to*2 

 inches long, 5 to 1 inch wide, petiole '5 inches long. Flowers 

 yellowish, solitary or 2-4 axillary on very short peduncles with 

 one or more ovate bracts. Perianth tubular "i inch long, lobes 

 ovate acute. Fruit very small, red, 1 inch through, globose or 

 oblong globose with 5 longitudinal grooves, and transverse 

 ones, making it nodulose. 



At 3,000 feet ; flowers yellowish. No. 6088. 



Distrib. Java. 



This is not the plant described in the Materials by 

 Gamble as H. varians 151., which appears to me to be certainly 

 H. umbellata Bl. and has shorter tubed flowers, many in an 

 axil, on longer pedicels and a considerably larger fruit. H. 

 varians Bl., very well figured in Mus. Bot. I. p). xliii. has a very 

 small fruit resembling that of H. buxifolia Bl. This latter 

 species however is more of an erect shrub with round leaves 

 and is entirely yellow in leaf and stem ; usually found in low 

 ground near the sea. It is quite possible that some of the 

 specimens quoted as H. buxifolia BL, from mountain districts, 

 are H. varians Bl. 



Henslowia Ridleyi, Gamble. In the account of the flora of 

 Gunong Tahan published in the Journal of the Federated 

 Malay States Museum, Vol. vi., p 170, I described a plant to 

 which I had originally given the name of H. minor, but the 

 account of this genus by Gamble being published before this 

 paper was printed I thought that H. minor was the plant in- 

 tended for H. Ridleyi by Gamble, as he had given Gunong 

 Tahan as a locality. I therefore gave the description as that of 

 H. Ridleyi. I have since found out that the plant intended as 

 H. Ridleyi by Gamble is quite a different species, though it 

 occurs in the same localities. The name Henslowia minor 

 therefore I restore for the species described as above under the 

 name H. Ridleyi. 



Laurine^e. 

 i06. nothophoebe angustifolia, sp. nov.

 •5 inches across, sparsely pubescent, pedicels nearly 'i inch
